Multi-reedist Ras Moshe Burnett’s production organization Music Now! presents an evening of multi-disciplinary radical arts. The event honors the rich heritage of Free Jazz as well as the 98th anniversary of the October Revolution. The concert will comprise five sets of politically powerful statements, commencing with a poets’ open mic. A variety of downtown improvisers will perform works comprising a tapestry of new composition, free improvisation and spoken word; set number four also includes a film screening. The evening will close with an experimental large ensemble performing a piece conducted concurrently by several participants. It will showcase the spoken word performance of women poets.
